Max rolled his eyes with an unamused grunt. Playfulness was so hard to gauge with vampires. They could be toying with you, or they could be toying [i]alongside[/i] you. The leech even had the audacity to [i]wink[/i].

[color=gold]"But, I only came here for you. So, no, I have no desire to talk to more people I don’t know than I have too. Ready to go see where we’re staying for the next some odd years?"[/color]

Max responded with only a hum of acknowledgement, following wordlessly behind Morrigan for the time being as the vampire took his leave. The mage had tugged his tie down into a comfortable looseness and was working on unbuttoning his collar before they'd even fully cleared the courtyard - decorum be damned. 

It took some time before he finally spoke up, tone hushed and - surprise, surprise - bored. [color=8585ad]"You don't have any annoying domestic habits, do you? Can't imagine our living space will be particularly big. I don't think vampires can snore, but..."[/color] His voice trailed off as his gaze shifted away in contemplation, as if he were actually scouring his brain for some vampiric behavior that reasonably pissed him off. There were plenty of irrational things, sure, but that wouldn't hold up under scrutiny, and he needed to present himself as being level-headed and in control of the situation whenever possible.

He opted for a simple shrug to finish his statement, playing it off as intentionally open-ended. Let the vampire's mind fill in a mental list of idiosyncrasies, maybe he'd get sloppy and reveal too much.
